Graduate Student Publishes Research on Aye-Ayes

Moritz’s research is concerned with the study of the aye-aye’s unusual finger. Native to Madagascar, the temperature of the aye-aye’s middle finger fluctuates depending on whether it is in use or not, specifically when it is looking for food.

“Like any delicate instrument, it is probably best deactivated when not in use,” Moritz told BBC Nature.
